“In my opinion, this hotel places one in an ideal position to experience Kyoto like a local, thanks to its proximity to Marutamachi station and nearby markets. I especially appreciate its focus on local food culture, evidenced by the shared kitchen and on-site restaurant, and the rooftop terrace seems perfect for city views. The curated library and community events also signal a commitment to connecting guests with Kyoto's unique character.”
